WHAT? Invited to attend a lecture on “Hedge Funds: Strategies and
Risks” by Philippe Jabre.
Philippe Jabre, the founder and CIO of Jabre Capital Partners S.A, a Geneva-based hedge fund
and a former managing director of GLG Partners, a UK based hedge fund. Mr Jabre, was born in
1960 in Beirut, Lebanon.
Mr. Jabre earned an MBA from Columbia Business School in 1981, where he is a member of the
Board of Overseers. He trained at JP Morgan and then BNP Paribas the French bank where he
specialized in convertible arbitrage.
On October 11, 2006 it was announced that that Phillippe Jabre was set to open a new hedge fund
in Geneva, Switzerland, after his non-compete contract with GLG Partners expired. The fund
opened in February 2007 and was one of the largest new launches in recent years, as many of
Jabre's old clients, followed him to his new venture along with a significant number of new
investors. The fund - JabCap Multi Strategy Fund - closed very shortly afterwards with about $4
billion under management and JabCap is one of the largest hedge funds in Switzerland today.
